Put a ring on it

You may think the holidays are over, but they aren’t. The most important romantic holiday of the year is just over a month away, and while it may seem too soon to plan, if you want to give your special someone an engagement ring for Valentine’s Day, then we need to get down to business.

First off, if you don’t already have a jeweler, you can find a professional one right here. These jewelers all have credentials from the American Gem Society, which means they have chosen to take their gemological education to the next level. These are jewelers who have to undergo annual re-certification, just as a CPA would. They are professionals who keep on top of trends, and most importantly, they adhere to a strict code of business ethics.

That’s the nitty gritty of buying an engagement ring. Shop with a professional, credentialed jeweler that you trust, and the rest is all fun—like the ring.

A romantic holiday deserves a romantic setting. I’m not talking about a candle-lit restaurant, but the actual ring setting. Here’s three great ones to chose from:

MaeVona always has romantic designs, and this round brilliant-cut solitaire is enough to make a Harlequin Romance heroin swoon. It’s accented with four round diamonds set in 18K white and rose gold.

Padparadscha Sapphire is very rare, very luxurious, and as romantic as a Keats poem. If you pop the question with this ring from Omi Prive and she doesn’t say “Yes,” take her to ER. Anyone woman with a pulse will love this one. The exquisite sapphire on its own is enough, but with diamonds down the side of ring, it’s divine.

Finally, there’s this pretty thing of a ring from ASHI Diamonds. A halo surrounding a center stone, diamond side baguettes—it is superfluous to say it’s a sparkling vision? Because it is.
